The "Abilities Expo" is a show of products and services for people with
disabilities featuring over 200 exhibitors.
 
You can see and try automotive products, wheelchairs, computers,
scooters, grabbers, etc.
 
(At the Anaheim show I've been to, there is a charge for parking and
admission -- but it was worth it. If you're not working and can attend
during the day on Friday, you'll find it a lot less crowded and easier to
get around.)
